We use the word “return” where we had already gone to a place and that we are returning from there.

 

While on the other hand, the word “come” is used when none such an action takes place.
For example, we can say

My friend will come to house on my birthday (correct)

Here, if we use the word “return” for them, then it is going to be wrong

Like

My friend will return to my house on birthday. (Wrong)

Or

Correct sentences will be

Tip to remember:-

We use the third form of verb with HELPING VERN SUCH AS HAS/HAVE/HAD
If there is any verb used with them, then it has to be the third form of verb

In the above case

• 1. “Ate” is the “2^nd” form of verb. You need to use “3^rd” form of verb which is “EATEN”
  2. “Went” is the 2^nd form of verb. You need to use “3^rd” form of verb which is “GONE”

   

 

 

 

 

Mistake No. 70

 

HAS / HAVE OR HAD?

Many of you think that if in any sentence “HAS” “HAVE” or “HAD” is used then, it will be a “Present Perfect Tense.
It is not like that.
For example,
I have a ball (No perfect sentence, it is infact Present Indefinite Tense or Simple Present Tense )
Why?

Because, there is no MAIN VERB is used.  “HAVE” in the above sentence is just a helping verb

Other examples of Present Indefinite Tense or Simple Present Tense are as follows:-

He has a pen

You have a ball
They have bags

He has a pencil
